In addition to the above redemption fee, a boarding fee for each dog impounded shall be charged for each day, or a fraction thereof, that the dog has been impounded.
(c) The owner of, or person harboring, a dog not bearing a tag which has been seized or impounded shall be entitled to redeem his dog upon establishing his title thereto to the satisfaction of the Humane Officer in charge of the dog, by securing a license for the dog, if such is not licensed, and by paying to the County Animal Shelter pursuant to a statement furnished such owner or person by the Humane Officer in charge of such dog a redemption fee for each day, or fraction thereof, that the dog has been impounded.
